[Glass] Is it possible to disable tranlogs for some gems?

[Mariano Martinez Peck via Glass]

OK the admin guide proposes to like:

STN_TRAN_LOG_DIRECTORIES = /dev/null, /dev/null;
STN_TRAN_FULL_LOGGING = TRUE;

But that still implies files modification and stone stop/start right? At
least I do not need to make a full backup? mmm sounds like....they forgot
to say that there?
